About animal cams: Animal
cams are almost always seasonal,
which means for part of the year there are no animals!
Animals often migrate, or do not hang around the cam if there
is no food source (the salmon left) or the babies grew up
and flew away. That is just the way it is.

Trail
Cams has about a hundred candid shots of animals close up using
motion-triggered cameras! Photos like the bear, here! Outstanding!

Webcams
: "Tiny remote cameras, called webcams, can relay live, up close, and intimate
scenes of wildlife onto the internet and your computer. Various agencies
and organizations in Alaska have set up webcams to watch the sights at inaccessible
or remote sites like the brown bears at Brooks Falls, seabirds on tiny Gull
Island, Steller sea lions near Seward, the bald eagle council grounds in
Haines, and the inside of a beaver lodge and a salmon run near the Mendenhall
Glacier."

Video
clips: Bird videos, fox videos, AND...bear videos! Plus - "A
Bear’s Eye View, A Day in the Life of A Bear is a 13 minute
compilation of a day’s worth of video." Wow!

Alessondra's OKC Great Horned Owl-CamIs back, with streaming video and millions
of viewers! This is neat!
A Great Horned Owl nest in a planter box outside a second story window!
Very popular, the camera is right there but the owls don't seem to mind.
Miss Alessondra is a hoot (oops). :)

Alligator CritterCam Go along with a gator as it hunts for
food. CritterCams show alligators to be skilled underwater hunters. Watch
and learn what they eat and how they live.

AnimalCams
from SouthAfrica!
Here are two sites that seem to work OK. Remember, it's summer in South
Africa in January. Webcams at SANParks
shows animal cams at different national parks. AfriCam
is a private outfit with links to live cams, refresh-cams, and videos!

Arctic
Wolf howls for school kids at the San Diego Zoo. Arctic Wolves are not
a seperate species, but living up in permanent snow country they are better
off being snow colored (white). Look how big he is, and those giant "snowshoe"
paws!

Baby
Rhino’s Walk Will Make You Smile! "Brought to Africa’s
Hoedspruit Endangered
Species Centre at only a month old, the young bull Matimba had lost his
mother to poachers.
Found close to her lifeless body, Matimba was discovered defenseless, hungry,
and scared
and immediately transported to the centre where staff went to work on settling
the orphan
into his new home. Watch as Matimba bravely takes a walk with one of the
centre’s staff.
Go, Matimba, go!" From The
Rainforest Site

Baby
Hippo and baby Rhino are best friends! "When Charlie the baby hippo
lost his mom,
he was rescued by a rhino orphanage and became best friends with a little
rhino.
There was only one problem — Charlie grew up thinking he was a rhino
too! Today on Odd Couples,
watch how Charlie eventually learned to act like a hippo, even though he'll
always come back for
snuggles with his favorite rhino!" From Odd Couples on Facebook.

Bear Cam
with Lily the Bear, along with Faith, and “Jewel of
the Northwoods”. From the Wildlife Research Institute in Ely,
Minnesota.

It's Baaaaaaack!!!!Bear
Cam at Brooks Falls, AK The salmon run - the time when salmon, which
have migrated from the ocean, swim to the upper reaches of rivers where
they spawn on gravel beds.

This is a major event for many predators, particularly for
bears which gather in great numbers to feast on the salmon. A live stream
has been set up in Katmai National Park, Alaska so you can watch the bears
live.

Bison
Cam at Plains Bison Water Hole
"Bison are the largest indigenous land mammal on the North American
continent. Considered a keystone species, these wooly herbivores helped
shaped the ecology of the Great Plains today. At least 80% of Canada's native
prairie has been lost, yet at Grasslands National Park there is a flourishing
herd of plains bison that freely roam their native prairie."

Cheetah
with a GoPro from the Cincinatti Zoo. "The video shows Savannah
running at full speed and in slow motion. The unedited footage is erratic
and incredibly shaky, but the slowed-down video shows how the cheetah’s
head stays generally still while running, even if the rest of the body is
jerking around."

Creepy
Desert Creatures! a Brave Wilderness episode, one of a series. Coyote
Bob Peterson with his cute, hyper, eight year old daughter Pup, and the
crew visit Tucson, Arizona to discover some Creepy Desert Creatures! And
find them they do, in this 22:30 Youtube offering! Watch the team as they
examine: a giant desert centipede, a tarantula, an anthill of red ants,
a solpugid (camel spider), finishing with a giant desert hairy scorpion
under a black light which appears quite scary. Next the team checks out
a Western Banded Gecko who's out hunting, (like everybody else in this video)!
Next. they find a Spadefoot Toad. Then, at last, a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake!
Hyper Pup is not allowed to approach, but takes it in good grace. There
are dozens of these videos for kids to watch!

Decorah Eagle Cam from the Raptor Resource
Project. This is the famous one from Iowa. Enjoy!

Drone
Captures Shark Migration It’s that time of year again: migration
time. Every year thousands
of sharks flock to Florida’s shallow waters to eat, mate and well…
repeat. Hydrophilik shared a video to
YouTube that truly captures the majesty of the mass migration. Most likely
a congregation of blacktip reef
sharks, the video was captured using a drone to hover over the clear blue
waters between Fort Pierce
and Vero Beach, Florida. Spoiler alert: several brave surfers and manatee
family also make an appearance ??

Eagle
Cams from Hancock Wildlife in British Columbia. Three live webcams of
bald eagles' nests with eggs and chicks! They also have a Biology Reference
section with information about bald eagles and their nesting habits. Obviously
these are seasonal.

Epaulette
Sharks can walk on land! As shown in this 2:09 Youtube video.
These harmless 2 to 3 feet long (27 - 35 cm) sharks are bottom feeders.
They hunt in tidal pools for small animals. Sometimes they get left
high and dry when the tide goes out. Then they have to crawl back
over the land, to get to the sea! The video shows how these fish have
adapted to this lifestyle.

Explore.org's
Live Cams Over 40 different live cams. Many of animals, birds, and fishes;
others of beaches and exotic places like Hawaii. Quite a few "baby animal
cams" - wild bears, birds nesting, pandas, puppies, kittens. This link defaults
to the Beluga Cam at the Vancouver Aquarium. Scroll down to see more cams.

Exploring the Dolomites
from an Eagle's Point of View in 360 (4K)
5:15 YouTube video. ON-screen contoller lets viewers move the camera
around. At about 1:10 to 1:15 there is a white cross on top of a
peak at the upper right. Nice music, too. (The Dolomites are a moutain
formation at the east end of the Alps. Used as a source of fine marble for
statues since ancient times.)

Filming Grizzlies
with Gopros In AlaskaUp close and personal videos of grizzly bears fishing
around Katmai, Alaska, using unmanned cameras that look like rocks. One
clip is a fish's view from underwater, another features the inside of a
cub's mouth as it tries to eat the camera! There is a video titled "Arctic
Foxes Ate My Gopro". This is followed by a selection of candid polar
bear photos from Churchill, Manitoba.

from Beauty and Sky on Facebook. Flying with three kinds of
European geese:
Barnacle Geese, Red Breasted Geese, and White Fronted Geese.
There is a clip of a Whooper Swan (or Tundra Swan) flying along.
The music is haunting. Beauty and Sky is a French site run by airline pilots.

Great
White Naps for First Time on CameraLINK REPAIRED
"A robotic submersible captures the first-ever footage of a great white
shark napping. From Shark Week 2016’s 'Jaws of the Deep.' " "The
shark was seen swimming face first into a 3 km/h (1.8 mph) current near
the bottom of the shallow seabed, in order to help oxygen-rich water flood
over its gills with minimal effort. It also has its mouth gaped open and
appears to be in a still, almost catatonic, daze." Watch the video
for yourself and see what you think. From a longer video on Discovery Channel's
Shark Week.

Gyrfalcons are usually elusive, but explore.org caught
this one on camera near Churchill, Manitoba over a dozen times

ABC
Helps Hummingbirds American Bird Conservancy 1:25 video.
Fierce, flying jewels, hummingbirds are simply amazing. Inspired to help?

Hummingbird
Babies Birth to Fledging the Nest A beautiful documentary which follows
mama and two baby Allen's hummingbirds from birth to fledging the nest.
"PLEASE READ FURTHER TO LEARN CORRECTED INFORMATION ABOUT THE BIRDS
AND PLEASE NOTE: Hummingbirds are federally protected wildlife. Do not
attempt to rescue or interfere with a hummingbird without first contacting
your local Hummingbird Rescue for information... Please take what I have
been advised and do not film birds close up unless you have a very long
lens or a web cam. ADDITIONAL NOTE: I inadvertently passed on incorrect
information in this video. The "squirt" from the beak of the
babies is actually their tongue. Also, the woman I spoke to from the hummingbird
rescue referred to the baby's "hair" and I say that several
times in the video. I have been otherwise informed that the "hair"
should be called "feathers." I also failed to mention that the
nests are often secured using spider webs. And, it turns out the first
bird to leave the nest is the male, not the female. I have a newly edited
and more informative version of this same video, available for schools
or educational purpose." sheri@sheriwatson.com

Here is a fine Fb video of a hummingbird
moth, taken by
a lady in Two Harbors, Minnesota. Thanks, Mary Ann W. L.!

Little
Kamok Will Capture Your Heart! Description from The
Rainforest Site: "A newborn female elephant wandered alone onto
the grounds of the Olpejeta Conservancy in Laikipia. The David Sheldrick
Wildlife Trust was contacted immediately and the calf was airlifted to
their nursery in Nairobi. There, it was discovered that the calf had some
sort of joint issue, which must have made keeping up with her herd impossible.
Thankfully, today the calf named Kamok has grown into a healthy young
elephant who continues to gain strength every day. Watch her inspiring
story!" She is a cutie!

Mother
Raccoon teaches kit how to climb a tree 1:26 video shows the trials
of a mother. You could fill in the words: "See the tree? Let's climb
it. Cling to the bark! Do I have to grab your behind and heave?
OK, let's try again. See how I just jump on and use my claws to... Pay
attention, kid! Don't fall off the roof! OK I am going to lift you up
and put you against the tree! Get. On. The. Tree! OMG he's climbing it!
Oh, good! Better pretend to ignore him and see how he does. I'm staying
close, though. This kit has a short attention span. I have mileage invested
in this brat, so I am staying put, in case I have to catch him again.
There's one in every litter."

Two
lynx arguing in the middle of a road - from Laughing Squid "Two
angry lynx engage in a loud
yowling argument in the middle of a small road in the Maine woods. While
traveling on a small road outside
of the Kokadjo Camps near Greenville, Maine, Tammy Mullen and her husband
encountered the rather rare
sight of two angry lynx facing off. They came to a stop, opened the car
door and heard the two big cats
loudly arguing with one another until one walked away, while still protesting
loudly." - Laughing SquidYoutube
